Assistant News Director Jim Van Anglen and New Orleans-based photographer Gerald Herbert decided to take a digital-forward approach to covering the 20-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina — the powerful storm that in 2005 nearly brought New Orleans and the Gulf Coast of Mississippi to its knees.
The result was a series of visually driven packages that not only chronicled the storm and its aftermath, but also the resilience of the city and the journalists who lived through and covered the storm.
It also highlighted the work of many other AP photographers who documented the aftermath with a strong social presentation plan, including Instagram posts of Herbert’s photo package and interviews with former AP staffers.
